Same! I should re-read the whole thing, it's been too long.

"I refuse to watch the movie 'Stargate' because of its disrespectful treatment of the gods Ra, Horus, and Anubis"

I'm trying to imagine how this would go over in the class I was helping my sister with. (Business communications skills--"find a job posting via your Linkedin account and answer some questions about how you'd fill out an application for this job. Include a screen shot of the posting.")

Also, the greater the (real-life) lag between releases, the less I care about continuity. You're going to release a sequel 2 years later? Yeah, I expect most things to be consistent. Is it 20 years later? Whatever, knock yourself out, it doesn't matter.

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

I don't know, I can't keep up.

I also need to poast through it.

I'm so sorry.

The ONLY good part is 50 years of inflation will drive down the real value of your payment, assuming it's a fixed-rate loan.

I will never forget waking up to a surprise 14 inches of snow in Greensboro, NC.

A dubious decision, I assure you.
